I like it better now, i didnt like the blue stuff. But those windows still stick out a bit. Try cleaning the rims, i used to have those kind, and they look decent cleaned up.

it'll get a couple inches higher here in the next couple of months, add a leaf in the back and torsion keys for the front, just to give the 33's a little more room.

and yeah i'm painting the extended cab " windows " (they are made of steel) next weekend, and the black rims are on the way also.

how intensive is a de-badge? how much work, or money, does it take to fill the holes?

GEEZ...way to be a dick.... i didn't say look i just washed my wheels... i said i repainted the truck.

And tire dressing? ha, why do you think they look brown in the first place... look closley at the pictures, see all the trees and fields? does it look like i'm living in the middle of a city?

How about when I get home from work at 5am I scrub that junk off and get you a decent picture. I'm sorry I wasted everyones time with a picture of my dirty tires.

Actually "dick" you didn't say what you did to the truck you just said "my fiance says I wasted my whole weekend what do you think." I don't know who you are where you live and ive never seen your truck before. But I noticed how shiny it was and thought you must of spent thew hole weekend waxing and chrome polishing but then didn't have the energy to dress up the tires.

The only time you mentioned the word paint was when you said next weekend I'm painting the rear windows, their made of steel.

Next time I'll just come on and say it looks like a 9 year old truck that some one spent too much time and money dressing up. Then you could call me a dick and it have some truthiness to it.

I hope you have a nice day and enjoy getting home at work at 5 am... I'll be waking up 50 minutes after you get home.

yeah I got that new wax that changes the color of your truck, see that color difference between the before and after pictures. Did i have to spell out what I did? Everyone else got it.

funny, from your sig you have the same year truck, WAY more miles, smaller engine But I'm wasting time and money dressing mine up.

All the badges have little holes to align them properly. So filler + paint and clear coating all the panels and the bumpers will probably run about $1K for a decent job. But that is on my truck which is mostly one color anyways.....may vary on different trim packages.
